ba-boo!

Oh dear you seem to be in a bit of a pickle huh? Well I have some tips and tricks that you can use for him so he will not get hurt by his bath. 

-Spot cleaning: spot cleaning is good because you can scrub at your stuffy without having to put him in the wash. Get a nice spray bottle and then mix a color-safe, multipurpose, oxygen-based stain remover with warm water and spritz at any spots on your stuffie. Be sure to not let the solution dry on him, blot the rest of the solution away after ten minutes then repeat if needed.

- Professional cleaners: If you take your stuffie to a stuffed animal hospital if your state has one they can help repair, fill, and clean your stuffie for you. You can also see if your local dry cleaners can help, but be sure to ask what they use to clean as some solutions can hurt your stuffie.

-surface cleaning: make a solution of washing detergent and water [warm or hot is best] and dip a brush in the mixture, put it on your stuffie and start scrubbing away. This won’t get him 100% clean but he will be a bit cleaner and be sure to get a clean damp towel after and remove any detergent residue. [Also give him a nice brushing with a plastic brush if he has fluffy hair]

-Changing his stuffing: this one is a bit not so happy, your stuffie may have a clean outside but can still smell funky on the inside if his stuffing is old. I heard that Build a Bear will take your stuffie and restuff them for you, and im sure they wont hurt him at all.

-And last but not least if all else fails you may have to place him into the dreaded washing machine, but~ there’s a solution for that: Pillow cases. Get a nice or old Pillow case and put your stuffie in there. Tie it up and now he has a barrier to protect him so the machine can’t hurt him ^^ you can also put maybe two to three stuffies in the case at a time so he can have friends too.

[Quick tip, after washing you should use a tiny vacuum to take out any invisible dirt particles off your friend so he doesnt get as dirt so quickly. ]

I hope that this has helped you and your stuffie friend on ways of getting clean without hurting him. ^^
